Deputy Warden’s House
Fremont County
Located just outside the walls of the Colorado State Penitentiary, the two-story masonry residence was designed by Charles C. Rittenhouse, an architect credited with the design of several other Cañon City buildings.
Deputy Warden’s House
Although there are other two-story masonry homes in Cañon City exhibiting Queen Anne style details, none possess the unusual combination of elements found on this 1901 residence. Despite some alterations to the porch, the building remains a distinctive example of Queen Anne architecture in Cañon City as reflected in its three-story domed-roof round tower and circular wrap-around open porch.
